The way things are unfolding, it seems as if former Patriots of the world are uniting against the evil, destructive force that is Chad Ochocinco.
Tedy Bruschi started the movement with his radio rant about his dislike — to put it mildly — for Ochocinco’s affinity for social media. Then Rodney Harrison chimed in on “NFL Total Access,” explaining why he has Bruschi’s back on the matter.Left tackle Andrew Whitworth added some to the comments when he was asked if losing big-name players ended up being better.
“Sad to say, as much as I love you guys, sometimes stars are born from y’all, not necessarily success on the football field,” Whitworth said. “Some guys run their mouths a lot or say a lot of things so they get a lot of attention. It doesn’t mean they always play football the way it is supposed to be played. Things like that happen. People start to believe or really have an opinion of a guy that may not necessarily be true, but at the end of the day when you are a football team and guys compete that way and go out on the football field together, you have a chance to win. And that is the key thing.So it's easy to understand where he is coming from. And it's certainly easy to criticize Ochocinco's performance, which included a 5-yard penalty for illegal formation that negated a 41-yard pass to tight end Ron Gronkowski.
On the other hand, Ochocinco, who didn't get much accomplished during the abbreviated preseason, is playing in a new system for the first time and had a shortened offseason to grasp the offense. Fortunately for Ochocinco, it's only Week 1.
